He is expected to appear in bond court in Chicago on Thursday morning.

A vehicle believed to be the getaway car used after the shooting was stopped by law enforcement on Tuesday, police said. They believe the person driving the car at the time of the stop was not connected to the murder.

Myles, 66, was an associate judge in Cook County Circuit Court's Criminal Division. Cook County includes Chicago, the third-largest city in the United States.

A woman was also shot during the incident at Myles' home. She is expected to recover fully.

The incident started when the woman exited the home and encountered a man with a gun at around 5 a.m. local time, police said.
